Decentralized storage solutions are a great way to address centralized server issues. Various cryptocurrency projects are working towards achieving this goal. They are Maidsafe, Sia and Storj, which one do you like the most?

Maidsafe not only look to improve decentralized storage, but they are also big fans of improved efficiency. Maidsafe aims to become a crowd-sourced internet, removing any threats related to data theft and surveillance. Moreover, everyone who provides unused computing resources to SAFE will allow users to get paid in the native safecoin token.

Sia is all about providing decentralized and incentivized storage competitive with centralized alternatives such as Amazon S3. Sia has a strong focus on the enterprise sector and providing a fast, reliable, and cost-efficient service. Sia supports on-blockchain smart contracts incentivizing hosts to store files if they want to get paid.

Storj shares a lot of similarities with how Sia developers are going about their decentralized storage model, yet it does not offer on-chain smart contracts in its current iteration. Automating agreements between hosters and uploaders is well worth exploring moving forward, although their pay-as-you-go model has a lot of potential as well. Do you have experience using/testing Maidsafe, Sia or Storj, which one do you like the most?

i have all of the coins you mention although the amount is not big as other people but i think its enough for me to start to trade it with btc. i am waiting the next increase for this coins too like other people.

I first invested in Storj. Later in Maidsafe and recently in Sia. So I am in for all three projects. The reason is simple. It is really hard to predict which one will succeed in the end. Probably all three will succeed but the experience says that one will them eat all. All three have there advantages and drawbacks and therefore I am invested in all. Personally I still like StorJ at most.

Back in the days, I had some issues with the Sia wallet, meaning it was a bit unpractical for me to login using a VERY long password, which you used to type in a blind fashion. Also the command line was a bit unpractical for me with long synchronization time. I am sure Sia is working better now than during its first days.

The Storj software used to work very good for me in windows as well as Linux. It has been quite long time since I do not participate any longer in those projects. However, I kept a bit of their coins.The interesting thing is that Sia some weeks ago started to wake up increasing its value, the same happened with Storj.

Interestingly enough, Golem is the new and first digital asset featured in the quite famous EXODUS desktop multi-wallet. It was a bit surprising to see the first digital asset "Golem" together with 5 digital currencies BTC, DASH, ETHEREUM, LITECOIN and DOGECOIN.What do you think guys having Golem within the EXODUS wallet, together with: BTC, DASH, ETHEREUM, LITECOIN and DOGECOIN? Does it mean something to you?

I have bought into Sia, I like their road map and the function behind the crypto, being solely dedicated to online storage!I like also that there are rewards for providing storage space.

this from the last line in the first post of their [ANN] thread >"We are looking forward to the data storage revolution."

on a seperate note, I also use the Exodus wallet and will be checking out Golem, thanks for the heads up.

It would be best to have the three of them. Diversification is best when we do not know the future of our investments. Anyway, I have not used those 3 I just invest and wait till profit gets in. It is to much of a hardwork using and testing all of them when I can just buy and wait till I see profit.

Love MaidSAFE! seems to have such potential but concerned with seemingly slow progress.... Hoping Kim DotCom announces file uplaod plans with it! They are going to need to pick up the pace however - 25 MB in test mode will not cut it.
